Elite Academy : Through The Waterfall

18 : On My Mind

A/N: some language in this chapter; beware! (: 

Sean's POV

I awake to a buzz. 

I thrash around my bed for a while. What had woken me up?

My neck turned to face my bedside table as I see my ePod vibrating viciously. I sigh, reaching over to grab it and see what disturbed my sleep.

A notification for a new message from my mother. Gosh, I'm so popular. She must've been the one who messaged me last night as well.

I unlock my ePod and scan over her message. Something about wanting to talk to us about behavior and a family dinner at 7:30.

Was that so important that she had to send it at 4 in the morning? Oh mother...

My eyes flutter shut as I wait for sleep to take over. 

It doesn't come. 

I guess I'm not going to be getting any more sleep. 

Throwing the covers aside, I sit up and rub my face groggily. I trudge to the bathroom and quickly brush my teeth and wash my face. 

I face my closet as I choose random articles of clothing hoping I look acceptable. I'm not the brother known for being most fashionable. That would be Luc. ...Which reminds me of Bella. 'Great,' I think as blush crawls up my face. 

Now is not the time to be thinking of Bella. Not when my brother is still dating her. Well, I think they are. If they're not then, well... But I shouldn't have my hopes up. 

I decide to go down to the Bro Room and play a little COD on our PS3 to take my mind off of her and impatiently push the down button multiple times, waiting for the elevator to reach the 5th floor. 

The elevator doors slide open and I shuffle inside, pressing 3 along the way. I slump down in the corner and wait for the doors close and we start descending. 

It's not long before the doors are sliding open again. I walk out to the hall and nearly reach the Bro Room, but not before the guest room catches my eye and reminds me yet again of Bella. 

'Great. I'm sure everything I see from now on will somehow relate to Bella and make me think of her.'

I can't help but reach for the door knob and open the door to the guest room Bella had stayed in over the summer. 

It hits me instantly. Someday by Justin Bieber, the perfume she was obsessed with over the summer, is still floating around in the air. The scent seems to be a metaphor to me. So close, being that I can still smell it, yet so far, being that it's from such a long time ago. Bella to me is so close, yet so far. She's only a few houses away, on the same island, but she's taken as of now and way out of my league. 

I let out a small laugh. When did I get so deep?

I flop onto the bed and sigh. I'm an international heartthrob and I'm complaining about how I can't get a girl? Nice.

'But this isn't just any girl...' I think to myself.

Bella isn't normal. Not in a mean way. But she definitely isn't what I define as normal. She stands out to me. She gets excited over the littlest things and laughs about everything. She's always optimistic and that's something I love about her. Her voice is beautiful and I wish I could listen to her sing all day and all night. Her writing is so good and I could read it forever. Her drawings are adorable and I wish I could draw like her. She's really good at photography and I just admire all her talents. She's super friendly and quick to make friends. She can be very awkward, but that's just something that makes you like her even more. Her personality is just amazing, and she's uber nice. I love her laugh, it's hilarious. I love her smile, it's beautiful. Her eyes give off a little twinkle. I could go on and on.
